“Today, as we join our brothers and sister of the Christian faith in commemorating the birth of Christ, I pray for continued peace and prosperity of our beloved country. I therefore, I implore all Gambians to love and cherish one another regardless of religion, political affiliation or ethnicity. We are one Gambia, One people, and on this note, The Gambia Democratic Congress is wishing every Gambian a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a happy 2019.”
